"git: Command not found" after installation about git-osx-installer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Git is installed in /usr/local/git/
Running "man git" works.

Just found out, that no installer works for me. Same problem with all.

OK, solved the problem. Just added /usr/local/git/bin/ to the PATH in ~/.login
But why didn't the installer do this for me?

Do you see the file /etc/paths.d/git?  The installer put that, along with 
/etc/manpaths.d/git, to set your 
paths appropriately. It looks like your system took the manpath change, but not 
the paths change. Maybe 
you are overriding this system default behaviour somewhere?

The file /etc/paths.d/git exists and contains the correct path to git. Thanks 
for the hint. I'll take a look at all 
path configurations.

It would be great if the installer pointed out that you have to restart the 
terminal. This is just an utterly frustrating and entirely unnecessary bug.

I didn't expect people would not know to restart the terminal, I'll add a note 
in the README.  In reality, you don't have to restart the terminal, just your 
bash session. So opening a new tab would do the trick. Additionally, you could 
re-source /etc/profile.

I wouldn't call this a bug, it's behaving exactly as intended. The reason why 
it's installed to /usr/local/git is for ease of removal. I have pondered the 
possibility of symlinking in to /usr/bin, overwriting the Xcode installed git, 
but have been hesitant to do so... it feels messy. Still, this approach would 
remove the need to modify the terminal environment, and still provide a 
somewhat sane, easy way to uninstall git.

There is also /usr/local/bin

/usr/local/git is such a weird place, I would think at least it would go to 
/usr/local/share/git then symlink back to to /usr/local/bin that doesn't 
interfere with Xcode, it makes more sense IMO.
